Event Details

In appreciation of your generous Director’s Circle membership and commitment to the Des Moines Art Center, we invite you to an exclusive conversation and reception with John and Mary Pappajohn Director, Kelly Baum, Ph.D.

Kelly will highlight a recent art acquisition and share exciting information about the Art Center’s new five-year strategic plan. Anchored by four priorities, “Be a Welcoming Home for All,” “Bring the World to Iowa, and Iowa to the World,” “Grow our Revenue Streams Sustainably,” and “Champion Caretaking and Stewardship,” this strategic plan will focus the institution’s priorities in the next five years and set the stage for its long-term growth, success, and dynamism, allowing it to do more and be more for the communities of Central Iowa and beyond.

Mingle with fellow members and enjoy hors d’oeuvres and drinks by The Tangerine Food Company.

Free; registration required. Space is limited; RSVP by February 27 by emailing Gala and Development Events Coordinator Jess Lane at jlane@desmoinesartcenter.org.
